yes higher lighting will benefit it and it will be more compact bush.and dont be surprised to see runners growing horizontally with HM too.higher lighting will promote that.and i even saw some making carpet of HM succesfully.check out jfleshtanks or mrmomtanks on youtube.even our buroda did it once in 2011-2012.and ofcourse you need good trimming.

i would have gone for a 36 watts or 2x 18 watts for decent growth.if it does with 18,it will be worth-watching.
